Sucrose synthase molecular marker associated with sugar content in elite sugarcane progeny
We describe the development and application of an expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) marker for sugarcane elite genotypes which can be used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) tagging for sugar content. EST-derived RFLP markers for proteins involved in sucrose metabolism have been used in Southern analysis for mapping and gene tagging in elite sug...
متن کاملKinetic Modelling of Sucrose Metabolism: a Powerful Predictive Tool for Genetic Manipulation of Sugar Content in Sugarcane
The apparent failure to make significant progress in increasing the sucrose content of commercial varieties during the past two decades has led to the speculation that a yield plateau has been reached. Several research groups have therefore been investigating genetic manipulation of sucrose metabolism as an alternative approach, to supplement conventional breeding. However, the general lack of ...
متن کاملLight/Dark profiles of sucrose phosphate synthase, sucrose synthase, and Acid invertase in leaves of sugar beets.
The activity of sucrose phosphate synthase, sucrose synthase, and acid invertase was monitored in 1- to 2-month-old sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves. Sugar beet leaves achieve full laminar length in 13 days. Therefore, leaves were harvested at 2-day intervals for 15 days. Sucrose phosphate synthase activity was not detectable for 6 days in the dark-grown leaves. Once activity was measurable...
متن کاملAnalysis of cDNA Clones Encoding Sucrose-Phosphate Synthase in Relation to Sugar lnterconversions Associated with Dehydration in the Resurrection Plant
Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) is a key enzyme in the regulation of sucrose metabolism, being responsible for the synthesis of sucrose 6-phosphate from fructose 6-phosphate and uridine 5 ' diphosphate-glucose. W e report on the isolation and characterization of cDNA clones encoding SPS from Craferosfigma planfagineum Hochst., a resurrection plant in which the accumulation of sucrose is consid...
متن کاملDevelopment of pre-breeding stocks with improved sucrose content over two selection cycles in sugarcane
In a base population comprising twenty three Indian “Co” canes and fourteen commercial hybrids from other countries, improvement in sucrose content was obtained over two cycles of recurrent selection. The parental clones had an average sucrose of 19.40%. Among the crosses involving Indian commercial hybrids, the best was CoC 671 x Co 99002 with a maximum record value of 24.0% brix and contribut...
